FIA Immigration carried out an operation at Islamabad Airport and offloaded 5 passengers who were attempting to travel abroad by fraudulently posing as children.
According to details, the passengers involved in forgery were going to Hong Kong via Thailand on visit visas. The passengers include Bushra, Amjad Ali, Alizay Shaheen, Muhammad Adnan, and Zeeshan Ali Khan. Passenger Amjad Ali is the real son of female passenger Bushra, while the other passengers were being taken abroad by falsely showing them as children.
The passengers named Alizay Shaheen, Muhammad Adnan, and Zeeshan Ali are not the real children of female passenger Bushra. The families of the passengers paid 15 million rupees each to the agent. The agent, through forgery, altered the NADRA records of the three children and, after receiving heavy sums, included the three children in the family record of Ejaz Ali. In the NADRA record, the address of the three passengers was shown as Swabi, according to initial investigation.
Alizay Shaheen, Muhammad Adnan, and Zeeshan Ali belong to Sargodha, Attock, and Khushab. An official of Pakistan Airport Authority involved in facilitating the passengers at the airport has also been included in the investigation.
Information has also been obtained regarding elements in contact with the official of Pakistan Airport Authority. The passengers have been transferred to the Anti-Human Trafficking Circle Islamabad for further legal proceedings.
The FIA spokesperson stated that the scope of the investigation has also been expanded regarding the involvement of NADRA and passport officials.
